W: Sir, you’ve been using the online catalogue for quite a while , Is there anything I can do to help you?

　　M: Well, I’ve got to write a paper about Hollywood in the 30s and 40s, and I’m really struggling. There are hundreds of books, and I just don’t know where to begin.

　　W: Your topic sounds pretty big. Why don’t you narrow it down to something like…uh… the history of the studios during that time?

　　M: You know, I was thinking about doing that, but more that 30 books came up when I typed in “movie studios.”

　　W: You could cut that down even further by listing the specific years you want. Try adding “1930s” or “1940s” or maybe “Golden Age.”

　　M: “Golden Age” is a good idea. Let me type that in … Hey, look, just 6 books this time. That’s a lot better.

　　W: Oh… another thin you might consider… have you tried looking for any magazine or newspaper articles?

　　M: No, I’ve only been searching for books.

　　W: Well, you can look up magazine articles in the Reader’s Guide to Periodical Literature. And we do have the Los Angeles. Times available over there. You might go through their indexes to see if there’s anything you want.

　　M: Okay, I think I’ll get started with these books and then I’ll go over the magazines.

　　W: If you need any help, I’ll be over at the Reference Desk.

　　M: Great, thanks a lot.

　　從劃線出我們?cè)俅伟l(fā)現(xiàn)，驚人的相似!問(wèn)答式的考點(diǎn)，分層次的考察，建議請(qǐng)求的運(yùn)用。特別明顯的是對(duì)話的開(kāi)頭部分一直在糾纏如何narrow down topic, 所以只考察了一道題目，第二道題目直到對(duì)話的中后部才出現(xiàn)，因?yàn)閮蓚�(gè)人直到那時(shí)才從book轉(zhuǎn)到magazine這個(gè)話題上來(lái)。此外，這兩則對(duì)話還秉承了passage的一個(gè)重要的考場(chǎng)方式，就是在對(duì)話的開(kāi)頭部分一定會(huì)出題目。這一點(diǎn)的考察利用的是考生往往很難在一個(gè)段落剛開(kāi)始的時(shí)候集中注意力，所以這時(shí)候考察的題目難度就顯得很高。

　　綜上所述，長(zhǎng)對(duì)話并不可怕，它結(jié)合了短對(duì)話對(duì)問(wèn)答句式，建議請(qǐng)求，和關(guān)鍵場(chǎng)景賜予的考察和長(zhǎng)段子對(duì)文章層次和理解能力的要求。所以做這樣的題目往往需要具備綜合的素質(zhì)，既要注意其中的細(xì)節(jié)，又要注意整體的把握，還要能夠應(yīng)付7道題目的題量，這比以往的四級(jí)題目對(duì)綜合能力的要求顯著提高了。建議考生在練習(xí)的時(shí)候可以先把短對(duì)話和長(zhǎng)段子兩部分分別練好，再尋找一些長(zhǎng)對(duì)話題目進(jìn)行綜合練習(xí)。我們熟悉的雅思考試和托�？荚嚨恼骖}中都有大量的長(zhǎng)對(duì)話題目可供大家參考。

　　最后簡(jiǎn)單的說(shuō)一下passage。因?yàn)闃宇}中給出的passage不論從出題的形式，考察的重點(diǎn)，以及題目的數(shù)量來(lái)看都和原來(lái)考察的題目一模一樣，就連樣題中的文章和題目也有部分是完全照搬以前的真題。所以對(duì)于這部分大家完全不用擔(dān)心，該怎么練習(xí)就怎么練習(xí)，不必特別的對(duì)待。不過(guò)由于passage題目對(duì)許多考生來(lái)說(shuō)一向是很難攻克的部分，在這里強(qiáng)烈建議大家采用聽(tīng)寫的方式練習(xí)，即把聽(tīng)到的內(nèi)容逐句寫下來(lái)，這對(duì)短時(shí)間提高passage的正確率以及長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)來(lái)說(shuō)提高聽(tīng)力的能力都是有好處的!現(xiàn)在又有了長(zhǎng)對(duì)話，我個(gè)人認(rèn)為聽(tīng)寫練習(xí)的必要性將進(jìn)一步的提高。

　　總的來(lái)說(shuō)，對(duì)于四級(jí)考試的聽(tīng)力部分，改革并不是一件可怕的事情。從上面的分析大家也不難看出，我們復(fù)習(xí)的策略并不應(yīng)該有很大的變動(dòng)，更不需要因?yàn)楦母锒�慌了手腳，盲目的認(rèn)為以前所學(xué)的知識(shí)都沒(méi)有用處了。就聽(tīng)力部分而言，我建議以前好的方法完全可以沿用下來(lái)，以前的真題也完全可以繼續(xù)使用。唯一需要增加的是對(duì)長(zhǎng)對(duì)話的訓(xùn)練，增加題感，這樣才能做到有的放矢，從容應(yīng)對(duì)。
